  4. Sketching the dream: Use chalk or light spray to outline your design concept under the guidance of our experts.

  6. Outer glow & outlines: Add that professional 'pop' with crisp outlines and highlight techniques that make the art jump off the wall.
  7. The finishing touches: Add cool effects like 'dusting', 'splatters', or 3D shadows to give your work depth.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Marseille workshops are specifically designed for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every single step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before they arrive, but they always leave with a masterpiece they are proud of. It's all about having fun and being creative!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a fantastic day of painting. This includes premium spray paint in a huge variety of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space. The only thing we suggest you bring is your own enthusiasm and perhaps some old shoes, just in case a stray drop of paint finds its way down there!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We use high-quality, low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control, and we provide professional-grade protective gear including masks and gloves. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones. Our artists are also trained in safety protocols to ensure everyone has a brilliant time without any risks involved.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Marseille is famous for its bright sunshine, but if the weather decides not to cooperate, we have backup plans! We can often move the session to a covered outdoor location or use indoor boards with specialized low-odour paint. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel. We’ll always communicate with you ahead of time to ensure the creative flow doesn't stop.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible with group sizes. Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a public session, a small group of friends, or a massive corporate team of over 100 people, we can accommodate you. In Marseille, we can scale our artist team to ensure everyone gets personal attention and plenty of time to spray, regardless of how many people are in the group.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard workshops typically last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and then the creation of your final piece. If you’re looking for something more intensive or a shorter 'taster' session for a festival, we can certainly customise the duration to fit your schedule. Just let us know what you need when you get in touch!

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, then simply send us a request. The best part? There is no upfront payment required! You can book your spot and pay after the workshop is completed. We believe in our service so much that we want you to be 100% satisfied before we settle the bill.
